Corporate Denial DENIAL OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE STATUTORY RECOGNITION OF THE RIGHT OFA MAN TO DENY CORPORATE EXISTENCE Piercing the Corporate Veil[A paper from a law researcher in Louisiana] The term "Piercing the Corporate Veil" is a legal one which identifies the process where a court removes the protection provided individual members of a corporation for criminal activity, and makes these members responsible for their own actions. In reality, according to the original meaning of corporations, is that these corporate groups were established exactly for that reason; for unlawful purposes, primarily to escape punishment for their crimes by placing the blame on a fictional ...

To all those who have been kind with their support for this site, thanks again so much! Now, let me report to you what I've discovered prowling Washington tonight on the CIA Leakgate story, the "October Surprise" scandal that threatens the survival of the G.W. Bush/Cheney administration. Political insiders tracking this scandal are reporting that the GOP and neo-con political machines, which have also targeted Travis County, Texas District Attorney Ronnie Earle in retaliation for his indictments of Tom DeLay and other Texas GOP operatives, are also setting their sights on CIA Leakgate special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald. The word inside the Beltway is that if Fitzgerald ...

HIDDEN TESTIMONY REIGNITES MIERS FIRES Drudge Report October 13, 2005 **Exclusive Details** The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a copy of sworn testimony given by Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers in 1990 in which she said that she “wouldn’t belong to the Federalist Society” – a conservative and libertarian lawyers’ organization – because it was “politically charged.” But Bush's Supreme Court nominee did not include in that category the NAACP and other liberal groups, the transcript reveals! Word of the testimony circulated late last week, roiling conservatives and setting off a scramble among lawyers to obtain the actual testimony. Sources tell the ...

Published on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 by WorkingForChange GOP Stands Up For U.S. Right to Torture by Molly Ivins On one of those television gong shows that passes for journalism, the panelists used to have to pick an Outrage of the Week. Then, each performer would wax indignant about his or choice for 60 seconds or so. If someone asked me to name the Outrage of the Week about now, I'd have a coronary. How could anyone possibly choose? I suppose the frontrunner is the anti-torture amendment. Sen. John McCain proposed an amendment to the military appropriations bill that would prohibit "cruel, inhuman or degrading" treatment of prisoners in the custody of the U.S. military. ...

Government by Temper Tantrum Capitol Hill Blue By Doug Thompson October 11, 2005 President George W. Bush’s temper tantrums are on the rise with White House insiders reporting increasing tongue-lashing of staffers, obscenity-filled outbursts and a leader driven to the edge by what he sees as party disloyalty and a country that no longer trusts him. Conservative backlash over his latest Supreme Court nominee may, in fact, have pushed the President over the edge. “He’s out of control,” one White House aide says privately. “There’s no other way to put it. His anger spills over in meetings. He berates anyone who brings him bad news but there's not a lot of good ...

Theme Parks and Your Privacy Walt Disney World Background In early 1996, Disney began a new biometric system to identify users of annual and seasonal passes abandoning the use of a barcoded laminated photo ID pass. The new pass deceptively contained no visual evidence of identity through the inclusion of an invisible unique personal identifier in the form of a fingerprint map. The barcode was replaced by a magnetic strip that now contained the fingerprint map, the pass holder's name, and the expiration date of the pass.

The Troops Don’t Support the Constitution

The Troops Don’t Support the Constitution by Jacob G. Hornberger Every U.S. soldier takes an express and solemn oath to “support and defend the Constitution.” That oath, however, is a sham because the troops do not support or defend the Constitution. Instead, when it comes to war the troops follow another oath they take – to obey the orders of the president, and they do this without regard to whether such orders violate the Constitution. A textbook example involves President Bush’s war on Iraq. The Constitution prohibits the president from waging war without first securing a declaration of war from Congress. By waging war on Iraq without the constitutionally ...

Our Political Federal Courts October 10, 2005 The nomination of White House lawyer Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court has raised questions about her qualifications and political ideology. Conservatives and liberals alike fear that Ms. Miers will not represent their views, and will rule on issues in ways that harm our nation. But clearly we are not asking the right questions about Supreme Court nominees. The issue is not how candidates intend to wield judicial power, but rather whether they understand that the Constitution imposes limits on that power in the first place. We are guilty of permitting our federal courts to become politicized, when the proper role of those courts is to protect ...

BATON ROUGE, La. Oct 12, 2005 — Under pressure from gun rights groups, FEMA said Wednesday it is reconsidering a ban on firearms at a trailer park established to temporarily house Hurricane Katrina victims. "We've got attorneys who are looking at that as we speak and they're trying to figure out who wrote the rules, what the intent was," FEMA spokesman Butch Kinerney said. The dispute involves a nearly 600-trailer encampment that opened last week near Baton Rouge. Katrina evacuees will be allowed to stay there rent-free while they try to find permanent housing.

All world citizens should know how the corrupt USA legal system, is a danger to every traveler, visitor, and guest worker from overseas, and to every individual who takes the risky step of entering upon American territory. Just ask the overseas families of prisoners who were put to death inside the USA, with their embassies never even being informed that they were arrested - or the many foreign people serving hugely long prison terms in America, after they were jailed on flimsy tainted "evidence" from criminal snitches.

TOTAL EMERGENCY ALERT ! ! ! HATE BILL WILL PASS SENATE JUDICIARY!! Fight in Senate is Our Only Hope for Survival of Free Speech By Rev. Ted Pike Senate Judiciary members who support the federal “anti-hate bill” S.1145 outnumber opponents by at least 12 to 10. Two Republicans, Senator Arlen Specter (R., Pennsylvania) and Mike DeWine (R., Ohio), have declared their support for the bill. Unless there is a miracle of Divine intervention or a senatorial change of mind, S.1145 will soon be on the floor of the Senate, voted upon by a Senate overwhelmingly inclined to pass it quickly. Such passage already occurred on June 15, 2004, with a vote of 65 to 33, although it was later ...
Wiccan Priestess Prevented From Opening Government Meetings With Prayer Loses High Court Appeal

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court rejected an appeal on Tuesday from a Wiccan priestess angry that local leaders would not let her open their sessions with a prayer. Instead, clergy from more traditional religions were invited to pray at governmental meetings in Chesterfield County, Va., a suburb of Richmond. Lawyers for Cynthia Simpson had told justices in a filing that most of the invocations are led by Christians. Simpson said she wanted to offer a generalized prayer to the "creator of the universe." Wiccans consider themselves witches, pagans or neo-pagans, and say their religion is based on respect for the Earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons. Simpson sued and ...

THE BUSH PRESIDENCY IS IMPLODING Newsmax By John LeBoutillier October 11, 2005 Some call it "second termitis" – that affliction that seems to beset all re-elected presidents. But that usually happens later in a president's second term – and usually less severely. Not since President Richard Nixon's Watergate demise have we seen a presidency – just nine months after GW Bush's inauguration – literally collapse from within. The latest AP/Ipsos poll – taken last week of 1,000 adult voters – shows that only 28 percent believe the country is on the "right" track; a whopping 66 percent believe we're on the "wrong" track. And only 39 ...
Cell Phones Could Be Used For Monitoring Traffic [MO]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Transportation is negotiating with private contractors to monitor the movement of thousands of cell phones. Privacy advocates are concerned about a technology that can track people. But transportation and technology leaders said the data gathered will remain anonymous. The technology doesn't use GPS. Instead, it takes the signals that wireless phones send to towers and follows the movement of the phones from one tower to another. That information is laid over highway maps to draw a grid of where phones are and how fast they're moving. No reason given for this "anonymous" tracking. Got bucks to spend?

WHERE IS JEFFERSON'S SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE? NewsWithViews.com By Pastor Chuck Baldwin October 8, 2005 One of the uniquely American attributes upon which this great country was founded is the spirit of independence, or as Thomas Jefferson phrased it, "the spirit of resistance." Throughout America's history, our people, especially our Christian leaders, were noted for bold and courageous confrontation. This was especially true in the area of politics. Having broken free (at great personal cost) from the fetters of the British Crown, our founders were jealous of their new-found liberty. They were not about to easily surrender what they had struggled so hard to obtain. As a result, ...

October 9th, 2005 — New York — This morning's news was dominated by the growing, horrific situation in Pakistan and the surrounding region . In the wake of a major earthquake yesterday, an estimated minimum 20,000 people have died. Naturally, the Sunday morning shows gave strong mention to this breaking story at the beginning of their broadcasts, with CNN's Late Edition giving a good deal of attention to it during its first half hour. Two major topics dominated the political chat, however: • George W.

Eminent Domain Ruling Fuels Property Grabs Washington Times Jim Seelbach, 83, lives in a suburb of St. Louis and he is about to lose his home of 20 years. The city wants it to make way for a shopping center. Mr. Seelbach and several dozen neighbors in the city of Sunset Hills face an eminent-domain order that could seize their properties to develop the $160 million complex filled with stores and offices. Even if he were amenable to moving, he says the money offered for his home would make it impossible to find similar housing. Mr. Seelbach has refused to accept the $118,000 offered for his two-bedroom, one-bath frame dwelling in the Sunset Manor subdivision near St. Louis. "I ...
Wal-Mart Gives Teen's Anti-Bush Poster To Police : Secret Service Comes Calling

After a Wal-Mart employee turned in a high school student's anti-Bush poster to the police, the Secret Service came calling. Selina Jarvis is the chair of the social studies department at Currituck County High School in North Carolina, and she is not used to having the Secret Service question her or one of her students. But that's what happened on September 20. Jarvis had assigned her senior civics and economics class "to take photographs to illustrate their rights in the Bill of Rights," she says. One student "had taken a photo of George Bush out of a magazine and tacked the picture to a wall with a red thumb tack through his head. Then he made a thumb's-down sign with ...

October 8, 2005 The Police State Is Closer Than You Think by Paul Craig Roberts Police states are easier to acquire than Americans appreciate. The hysterical aftermath of September 11 has put into place the main components of a police state. Habeas corpus is the greatest protection Americans have against a police state. Habeas corpus ensures that Americans can only be detained by law. They must be charged with offenses, given access to attorneys, and brought to trial. Habeas corpus prevents the despotic practice of picking up a person and holding him indefinitely. President Bush claims the power to set aside habeas corpus and to dispense with warrants for arrest and with procedures ...
